NEW YORK (WNS) - The American Jewish Congress has called for an unconditional amnesty for all draft resisters, deserters, expartiates and those who renounced their citizenship because of the Viet¬ nam war. A resolution adopted by the organization's policy-making National Governing Council urged Congress to grant the amnesty if the President refuses.
NEW YORK (WNS) - The overwhelming victory of City Controller Abraham D. Beame over Rep, Herman Badillio in the runoff primary reunoff for the Democratic mayoral nomination may give New York City its first Jewish mayor. The concensus of political experts is that the 67-year-old Beame, who carried four of the city's five boroughs, will be elected in Novem¬ ber. New York, the city with the largest Jewish population in the world has never had a Jewish mayor although several Jews, including Beame in 1965, have tried for the office.
JERUSALEM (WNS) -Prime Minister Golda Meir told the World Jewish Congress Executive meeting that all figures on Soviet Jewish emigration cited by Leonid I. Brezhnev were incorrect. But she said it was an achievement for Soviet and world Jewry that the emigration issue had figured in the summit talks since the issue could now no longer remain a purely internal matter in the Soviet Union.
FALLSBURG, N.Y. (WNS) - The Rabbinical Council of America, an organization of Orthodox Rabbis, went on record at its 37th annial meeting to "pressure" and Use its veto privileges in Jewish secular and religious organizations to. exclude from _. leadership positions persons "who have married non- Jews. The rabbinical organization said that mixed ■ marriages have reached "epidemic proportions and threaten the very survival of Jewish religious life." The 1,000-member organization also condemned birth control and abortion saying that their use threatened the continuity of the Jewish people.

HEW YORK (WNS) — Jewish organizations dif¬ fered in their reaction to the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision invalidating all forms of state aid for non-public schools. The. Court specifically declared un¬ constitutional New York State's Mandated Service Act and all three parts of the 1972 omnibus bill which granted non-public schools in the state money for maintenance and repairs and provided tuition reimbursement for low - income parents and tax credits for all„ parents of children attending parochial schools. The Court also declared unconstitutional a 1972 Pennsylvania tuition reimbursement law and upheld a lower court decision in Ohio against tax credits for parochial school ■ parents.
Rabbi Bernard Golden- berg, associate director of Torah Umesorah, the National Society of Hebrew Day Schools, said the decision will cost the 185 Hebrew day schools in New York State $6-7 million in state aid this year. Rabbi Moshe Sherer, president of the Agudat ', Israel of America, said the potential loss to Jewish day schools nationwide v?as-at least $10 million because the Supreme Court's decision had un¬ dercut a campaign by various Jewish and other • groups to obtain a federal tax credit for non - public
schools. Both rabbis said the burden for providing urgently needed financial assistance now rests on the Jewish federations, the community and the secular organizations that suc¬ cessfully led the court fight against parochiaid. But Leo Pfeffer, of the
American Jewish Congress, Said he was certain that Jewish Day Schools would not be hurt by the action and would be able to maintain and increase their efforts by obtaining funds from the Jewish community. Pfeffer, who as special counsel for the Committee for Public
Court Ruling Schools
Education and Religious Liberty (PEARL) argued the case before the Supreme Court, said the decision "safeguards the Jewish day schools from governmental 'interference into their af¬ fairs and protects the religious freedom of all Americans."

PARIS (JTA) .— Diplomatic sources said on June; 28 that secret
* negotiations are being held ' in; Switzerland; that could
lead to a meeting between President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia" and Premier Golda Meir-of Israel during thf next few months. Ihe sources said the negotiations so far havetun into very few obstacles and were sup¬ ported by several factions in the Arab world.
(Political circles in Jerusalem on June 28 denied press reports quoting Tunisian Foreign Minister Mohammed Masmudi to the effect that Switzerland is servWg ai a mediator in ; arranging meetings between Israeli and Tunisian of¬ ficials. The circles also denied reports thatr Israel.j
• has received.1ii^'direc^! messages from1Tunisia on this matter.) v! ; The sources here said the major obstacle in the way of a Bourguiba - Meir meeting
. have come from Israel ' where many political fac¬ tions hold firmly to a "no
compromise" stand in relation to the Arab coun¬ tries. But there is a feeling in Arab circles | that an in¬ creasing number of Israeli political groups are inclining toward the view that the future security ofthe Jewish State will require an accord with the Arab bloc nations to end the Middle East crisis, tiie sources said.
In an interview on West German television recently, Bourguiba said he was op¬ timistic for the talks and he believed the Israeli people
were now willing to enter 1 n t fi compro mis e: negotiations.
Tunisian Foreign Minister Mohamed Masmoudi said in a recent interview, that Tunisia had the support of the Palestinian Liberation Front, Egypt and other Arab states through their silence in connection with attempts . to set up the summit meeting with Israel. He said their lack of comment should not be interpreted as a rejection of the. plan but as

Dinner of State was a great success both in terms of the - dinner itself and,, more importantly, in terms- of dollars sent to Israel through the State of Israel Bond Campaign. "Hie elements were on our side this year," Mr. Goodman said, referring to last year's dinner -which had to be moved at the last minute to Tifereth Israel Synagogue due to Hurracane Edna, "and the setting.Vai always) was- beautiful.'' Master of Ceremonies, Jeff Schottenstein kept the evening moving along at a good pace' and Dinner
Chairman Bernard R. Ruben conducted the Israel Bond sale with dignity and speed. Highlight of the; evening was the lighting of the twenty-five branch manorah, each candle symbolizing a year of Israel's life as a free nation. The candle lighting program was led by Womens Division Chairman, Mrs. Frank R. Nutis and Mr. Goodman. The lighting was proceeded by a very witty and informative address by Ambassador Benjamin Varon, who, relying on his background as

Mayor Tom Moody of Columbus joined a large number of government of¬ ficials in petitioning Leonid Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Communist Party, on behalf of the members of the Jewish community. In a letter to Secretary Brezhnev, Mayor Moody indicated that "one of the richest parts of our American heritage is that individual citizens may go to places of their choice, or leave places when they wish to do so. The restrictions on the right of Jewish citizens of your country to emigrate are of sore concern both to our Jewish citizens and to our
non-Jewish population."
Mayor Moody went on to say that he hoped that the Soviet government would "eliminate the artificial obstacles of the right of Jews to emigrate."
In addition to his letter to Secretary Brezhnev, Mayor Moody also wrote a letter to Richard M. Nixon noting his concern of the continuing problems "faced by Jews in the Soviet Union who wish to leave thatcountfjK",3"'. ' The coi^muiiications by Mayor Moody were part of a' nation-wide program of B'nai B'rith in bringing to light the feeling of govern-
